DiseaseRecognitionSymptoms & DiagnosisTroubleshooting

Early recognition of disease is extremely important if it is to be controlled. Birds are experts at hiding symptoms of disease. This is a defense mechanism to insure their survival in the wild. Therefore it is necessary to catch your bird on a regular basis for a physical exam because a disease may be quite well advanced by the time he shows any signs of the illness. Any bird that appears sick must be helped immediately.

Symptoms & Diagnosis Troubleshooting - It must be emphasized that it is far better to confirm a diagnosis before initiating treatment rather than to decide on a treatment based upon symptoms and probabilities. Symptomatic treatment of illnesses may, however, become necessary for those unable to self-diagnose by using a microscope or those without access to an avian veterinarian. This Quick Reference Guide has been designed with those people in mind.
